Windows 11, as a "service," is always getting better, and a major update is planned for later this year with several features.

There is a new security feature in Windows 11 to protect system files, which was quietly rolled out in the latest update.

Windows 11 February 2026 update adds Cross-Device Resume, MIDI upgrades, security fixes, and major bug fixes for 24H2 and 25H2.

Microsoft promises a big February patch - but will it fix what's broken with Windows 11 today?

Launch multiple apps at once, clear temporary files, and more.

This process is called a clean install, which is ironic as there's nothing particularly clean about it: Microsoft has enshittified Windows Setup.
